The Minister Replied:
(1) The Western Australian State Government has provided $50,000 to the Terra Australis 2001 Committee through the University of Western Australia to help with the administration of the planned celebrations for the Boudin Bicentenary.
A further $20,000 has been allocated from the State Centenary of Federation Committee for a monuments project in Fremantle and other regional areas.
An amount of $13,000 has also been allocated to the Margaret River Arts Council from Federal Government Funding through the Australia Council for the development of a 'drama work' to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the Baudin Expedition.
(2) The 'Terra Australis 2001 Committee' is not a Government committee and has recently become an incorporated body. The Hon Barry House MLC who chairs the newly incorporated Committee was invited to do so by the University of Western Australia. The Hon Barry House had been involved with the planning of the celebrations because of his involvement in the Margaret River area and as a representative of that community.
While it is not a State Government Committee, the Hon Barry House has issued a personal invitation to Opposition Member Ms Diana Warnock to attend any of the meetings.
